The Big Bad Wolf Murder
A girl accused of killing a famous wolf must solve his murder while on the run, in this thrilling and adventurous twist on Little Red Riding Hood!

At twelve years old, Ruby Calvino is the youngest competitor in the Tooth & Claw championship. It’s her fast legs and even faster mind that leaves her as the last human in the arena during the final game, and she's ready to claim victory. But when the undefeated Alarick— the wolf player hunting her— is finally upon her, he…drops dead?

With poison found in Ruby’s bag, all fingers (and paws!) point to her. Desperate to prove her innocence, she teams up with a young wolf accused of helping her commit the crime. But figuring out who killed Alarick certainly won’t be easy while on the run from cops and another vicious wolf.

Luckily, Ruby’s Tooth & Claw training just might come in handy!

This fast-paced fantasy is perfect for readers looking for:

-A quick read

-Fairytale-inspired stories, like Disney's Descendants

-Stories similar to The Beanstalk Murder
